Dan jumped in, found us an amazing flight, worked out all the details and got us a much better price than we were able to find on our own. And, he did all of that in just a few short hours. We will definitely use Dan and Select Business Class again!

British Airways Business Class, answered

Can't find your answer? An agent picks up around the clock.

What is included in British Airways Club World?

Lounge access, a dedicated check-in desk at most airports, Fast Track through security at Heathrow, Gatwick and JFK, and priority boarding. On board, a seat that becomes a fully flat bed with a mattress topper and duvet. Two bags in the hold at up to 32 kg (70 lb) apiece, and a free seat choice once check-in opens 24 hours before departure.

Which British Airways planes have Club Suite?

As of October 2026: the A350, the 777s based at Heathrow, the 787-8 and the 787-10, with the 787-9 being fitted. The A380, which flies to Miami, the Gatwick 777-200s on the Orlando route and any 787-9 still awaiting the refit keep the older Club World seat. Once you have booked, Manage My Booking shows your flight's actual seat map.

Which US cities fly British Airways nonstop to London?

On BA's timetable from November 2026, 23 US cities fly nonstop to Heathrow, among them Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, New York (JFK and Newark) and Washington (Dulles and Baltimore/Washington). In 2026, St. Louis flew to Heathrow from April to October; Orlando flies to Gatwick, BA's other London hub.

How much is British Airways business class to London?

Our round-trip British Airways business fare from New York to London starts at $1,597*, per person, taxes included. In Club World, BA lets you pick a seat free once check-in opens 24 hours out, and says a more flexible ticket gives you more choice of seat.

Will I earn Avios in British Airways business class?

On most fares, yes. BA gives Avios on almost all its flights, except reward flights and agency or industry discounted fares, and tier points on BA and Oneworld flights. Where BA knows the fare paid, you collect 6 to 9 Avios per pound spent, by Club tier; where it does not, as on some travel-agent bookings, by distance flown and cabin.

British Airways Club World or First: which should I book?

Club World gives you a flat bed, in a Club Suite wherever the aircraft has one. First adds a suite with turn-down service, the 'From the Grill' menu, a third checked bag, free Wi-Fi for the whole flight, the Chelsea lounge at JFK and the Concorde Room at Heathrow. BA's A350 has no First, and its November 2026 timetable schedules the A350 from Austin and Dallas.
